Rascaletta, aka Buckwheat

Buckwheat, aka Rascaletta, lived in Chagrin River Park. She (or he) was born at the very end of the season in 2009 in late August or September. He was the littlest deer in the park this winter, and, like Rascal, he was well cared for by many people who walk in the park. His mother was killed by a car on Reeves Road near the park when he was very, very tiny, and then his twin was killed by a coyote. For a few months he was almost always alone, but he (or maybe she) thrived and made it through that very cold and snowy winter.
